DESTINATION GUIDE: What fans can eat, see and do when they visit Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Baku is a city of two halves. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘City of Winds’ this modern, forward-thinking metropolis - and capital - of Azerbaijan sits on the shores of the Caspian Sea (the world’s largest inland body of water).

It is criss-crossed with rich history that would perhaps ordinarily sit at odds with the contemporary elegance the city exudes, but instead the past is woven through every aspect of life here with ease.

Nowhere else on the F1 calendar can boast a track that butts up (literally) to UNESCO protected Medieval walls, as the drivers navigate the challenging streets of this intriguing city circuit. Here, the slightest mistakes are punished quickly and severely thanks in no small part to the proximity of those aforementioned walls.
